Lovely specimen. Looks so healthy too. I think OH’s mum calls this ‘lady in the bath’..maybe it’s just her name for dicentra.

Linda, it's Bleeding Heart Dicentra now known as Lamprocapnos!! When a flower is turned upside down it looks like the head, neck, shoulders and torso of a person in a bath. Well, if you use your imagination!

Shirley has nailed it there, I remember when I first saw it in OH’s parents garden - his mum demonstrated how it resembled “lady in the bath” :-D
You’ll have to give it a go, Linda!!!
